The NeoCons are scattering like flies.....
Good news.
Party like it's 2006!
I was wondering when this would happen. On my way to the job site this morning, one of the pundits on Fox News (I was listening to XM Radio), said that it was his belief that Rumsfield would have to tender his resignation as he has a less than friendly relationship with Congress already.
(faints)
Hmmm, smells like... accountability...
Haven't smelled that in a while.
"Pink. Rummy would like a pink slip today".
Bush opening his press conference: "Why all the glum faces?"
Well, well, the democrats got another present! Let's see what they do with it - they won't have Rumsfield as a scapegoat if the war continues to go badly.
Nah, it's quite possible Rummy screwed up the war beyond repair.
Damage has already been done. Typical Republican "cut and run" tactics.
Holy crap! A&M president Dr. Gates is going to replace him. Great pick, he'll do a great job.
"accountability"
far from it, retiring costs him nothing.
Rummy was seen as the scapegoat, the lightening rod for criticism of the war, protecting dubya.
With rummy gone, let's get out the long(er) knives for dubya and head.
If Rumsfield had resigned last week, would it have made a difference in the election?
I think it shows the character of the President that he wouldn't allow the resignation right before the election because he didn't want it to sway the election. He said in his press conference that he had been talking to Rumsfield about the need for new leadership for a few weeks.
I know nothing about Bob Gates, but my cat could do a better job than Rummy so I'll assume he's an upgrade.
I love David Gregory's questions because they always seem to irritate the out of Bush.
WTF? Did the president just get beeped on MSNBC?????????????????????????
Of course it woudl have swayed the election. It would have hurt the republicans even more. They wouldn't have had a chance.
Making sure your team doesn't get blown out means you have character? Give me a ing break.
It shows how stupid he is -- that might have saved the Senate for the Republicans.
Bush is getting really testy. He's simmering.
I disagree Chump. Rummy resigning would have be an admission of complete failure and would have killed them at the polls.
Really bad spin, Crooky.
The election was a referendum on the Iraq war, for which much of the ups were committed by rummy, probably the main ups of not enough troops and having NO post-invasion plans or worst-case scenarios to be pre-empted.
If Rove/RNC thought that throwing rummy under the bus before the election would have significantly guaranteed better Repug results, they would have done it.
dubya saying last week that he was keeping rummy and head to the bitter end was just pandering his "steadfastness and loyalty" to the Repug base. It was all window dressing.
"Mr. President, yesterday's election shows that the people think you and your extreme right-wing policies suck. What do you say to them?"
Typical Bush press confrence.
He's saying that it was close now. Mother er didn't think it was so close when he was talking about his mandate.
There's MANNY!! Sniffed out all the numbers, you ol'bloodhound!!!
Depends on the timing, really. Even if last week, he said that all options were on the table concerning the "unstaying the course" review instead of lying about Rummy's staying, that might have gotten a couple of thousand votes.
